Key Finding
Penicillium expansum is one of the most common and destructive post-harvest fungal pathogens that can cause blue mold rot and produce mycotoxins in fruit, leading to significant post-harvest loss and food safety concerns. Collectively, this work functionally characterized four PRMTs in P. expansum and showed the important roles of PeRmtC in the development, pathogenicity, and secondary metabolism of P. expansum.
Countstar Connection
Measurement of cell numbers in the study's cell samples was performed with Countstar (model not specified) during quality assessment in the 2021 Journal of fungi study.
